Okay! Very very excited today to FINALLY announce a bunch of stuff for my upcoming game, Above & Beyond Air Combat - previously known as SciFly 2. Real quick. I decided to rename SciFly 2 to A&B about a month or two ago. I decided the old name was just kinda cheesy and now that I've been working on A&B for over 9 months, it's really something entirely new. To help spread the word, I wanted to have a trailer ready to break the news. That's why I haven't posted any progress in so long, I've been working this trailer. Enjoy!

[Edit: I've signed up 25 beta testers which is all I can handle right now. I'll update the info here if I need more later on. Thanks for the strong amount of interest!] If you would like to beta test, leave a comment and/or DM me (with UDID if possible). I'm going to be beta testing for a few weeks, hoping to submit to Apple after that. Wow! Can't believe it's this close, hahah. It feels like forever since I started this project. Can't wait to have you guys start playing. Also wanted to officially announce that A&B will support OpenFeint 2.1 Achievements, Leaderboards and (possibly) Challenges. Here's some more screens and such.
wow, it certainly does look like you've been putting a lot of content and work into the game...and good video
Wow. This game keeps getting better and better. You've really been hard at it Josh. However, I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the new name. I understand why you would want to steer away from scif fly II, as this game has become something on an entirely new level, but Above and beyond air combat just seems like a mouthful...Also, there seems to be a inconsistency in your app descriptipn. At one point it mentions there are more than 60 islands to explore, and at anotehr it says nearly 100... Anyways, game's lookin great. I sent a pm about beta as well.
Looks awesome ball it needs is peer-to-peer Bluetooth dogfight and it would be perfect. Also pm sent.
You're welcome to just call it A&B among friends Good catch about the 60/100! Originally it was going to be 100, but took it down to 60 so I could have time to add the arcade mode. Thanks for the comments and feedback! I'm receiving a bunch of beta requests, which is great! I've been up for a long time so I gotta sleep for a bit. But, I'll be sure to send you guys the info tomorrow. Thanks again for all the kind words! I, of course, enjoy constructive feedback of any kind
Same here but I have such a huge beta experience I hope I get in. Also it's PM not DM or I'm blind right now. If this offends you in anyway I will take it down just in case it ruins my chances of getting in and also I have the new iPhone 3GS and I can tell you if there's any bug or what not. Also I'm a bi fan of SciFly so I been for yousince day one!
